[PATCH 17/17] s390/debug: Improve another size determination in debug_info_alloc()

From: SF Markus Elfring <hidden>
Date: 2016-09-03 12:40:55
Also in: linux-s390, lkml
Subsystem: s390 architecture, the rest · Maintainers: Heiko Carstens, Vasily Gorbik, Alexander Gordeev, Linus Torvalds

From: Markus Elfring <redacted>
Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2016 14:41:02 +0200

Replace the specification of a data type by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.
